This Web Site is dedicated to Clarence Van Abbema, My Father, who passed away April 1st, 2004. Without his support
and encouragement, I would never have had the guts to attempt a project like this.

Mark V Designs specialized in classic fuel-efficient power boat disigns for the home builder.

See WoodenBoat #167, page 86, for an article about the Mark V 39.
